Silotime-D Tablet – Dual-Action Relief for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

Silotime-D Tablet is a combination medication designed to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate, in men. It helps relieve urinary problems such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, or urgency. Please note, it is not intended for the prevention or treatment of prostate cancer.

Key Benefits of Silotime-D Tablet:

Reduces Prostate Size

Silotime-D Tablet contains dutasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers the production of a hormone responsible for prostate growth. Over time, this leads to a reduction in prostate size and improvement in urinary symptoms.

Relaxes Urinary Muscles

The alpha-blocker silodosin works by relaxing the muscles of the bladder neck and prostate, allowing urine to pass more easily and reducing the feeling of urgency or frequency.

Long-Term Symptom Control

Consistent use can significantly improve quality of life for men suffering from BPH. Maximum benefits may take up to 6 months of regular usage.

How Silotime-D Tablet Works?

This tablet combines two active ingredients:

• Silodosin: An alpha-blocker that relaxes bladder and prostate muscles to ease urine flow.
• Dutasteride: A 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that shrinks the prostate over time by reducing hormone levels.
